RICE
The poem "Rice" written by chemmanam chacko and traslated by Prof.Ayyappa
Some farmres stopped farming and others started cultivating cash crops.In this poem the son of a rice farmer goes to north lndia for research on toys with husk.When he returns there is no husk.Everywhere filled with rubber.People control machine for making rubber sheets.Poet gives the picture of chief minister flying to the centre to request for more food grains.The son with an intense desire to eat 'athikara'rice.
A number of malayalam words are used in the poem.It consist irregular stanza."Rise" is a prose poem in simplest style.The varanganal canal, athikara rice, modan,vellaran(rice varieties)noise of shouting as oxen draw the plouph in the field,his father's handloom dhoti stained with yellow mud are became memories.Palm thatched houses are gone.Field is planted with arecanut palms and along the canal there were dealwood trees.
The glitter of money tempting the farmers.The government give rice to those who have no paddy fields.The market ruling us.Kerala becoming a consumer state.People want to catch the fish without wetting the fingers.
In this poem the quote by Rabindranath Tagore became relevent.He said that "The highest education is that which merely gives us information,but makes our life in harmony with all existence".

Paniker is a superb satire.The poem filled with sarcasm.Society has changed and
changed. The agricultural land, kerala changed from food crop cultivation. The youth goes to gulf countries. There will be atleast one person who working at abroad. They send money to their relatives.![]() |
